Greetings Crawlspacers, As my fellow Spidey-fans well know, I’ve been a member of the Spider-Man Crawlspace for several years now. Some of you may even remember me from my occasional posts on the Comic Book Resources and Superhero Hype Forums. Since that time, I’ve become the regular reviewer for…

As part of their “Summer of Epic Adventure: The Sequel,” The Children’s Museum of Houston, TX will be hosting a series of events and interactive science exhibits called “Weave a Wild Web Epic” from July 24 to August 6–all of which are apparently Spider-Man themed. August 1st in particular,…

This November, our 616-Peter Parker will meet with his various counterparts from around the multiverse thanks to the villain, Morlun. Starting today we will take a look at the history of some of these alternate version of everyone’s favorite webhead. We will kick things off with Sir Peter Parker…

“Stegron Loves You, Hairless Apes!” Well Stegron Saturday is at an end now. Hopefully you’ve made lots of memories today and maybe even a new friend or two as you’ve reveled in the glory that is Stegron. And hey, we wouldn’t be surprised if nine months from now some…

“It’s a Festivus Miracle!” As Stegron Saturday winds down we think back to one of TV’s greatest sitcoms and ask ourselves how differently Seinfeld might have been if it wasn’t Seinfeld but rather… Stegronfeld. Would the comedy bits have been thrown off by Stegron randomly impaling hairless apes with…

“Well that depends on what you think a real cowboy is…” Stegron Saturday rolls on here at Crawlspace. In this post we celebrate two things that go great together: dinosaurs and cowboys. Which leads us to think “If John Travolta had been unable to take the part, how awesome…

“Curt Connors sleeps with the fishes…” Continuing our Stegron Saturday – our four color orgy of all things Stegron – we once again peer back through entertainment history and ask “What if Vincent Stegron had played mafia boss Don Vito Corleone?” Don’t forget to pleasure your ears with the…

“… I don’t give a damn.” Stegron Saturday continues here at the Crawlspace, and this time around we have to ask – “What would Gone with the Wind have been like if Vincent Stegron had played blockade running smuggler Rhett Butler instead of Clark Gable?” Make sure you catch…

“Beats all you never saw, been in trouble with the law since the day they was born…” Continuing our celebration of all things Stegron on Stegron Saturday we let our imaginations run wild and wonder… “What would the Dukes of Hazzard have been like with Stegron?” Make sure you…

Toy Biz produced a very cool Stegron toy back in the 1990s. Stegron fans across the globe have produced several custom Stegrons. Check them out. Also don’t forget to listen to the epic Stegron Friday Night Fight podcast.

“Stegronblanca…” As Brad announced this morning today is Stegron Saturday! Stegron Saturday is a celebration of all things Stegron – something that is long, long overdue. Make sure you listen to the Spidey Friday Night Fight on Saturday podcast in which Brad, Kevin and myself examine Stegron’s first fight…

Face front, Crawlspacers! On an upcoming edition of our podcast, we’ll be announcing the best of Spider-Man in 2013 as decided by YOU! It’s a little something we call the Crawlie Awards, and only your votes can make it possible. So read the complete rules and categories by clicking…

“We Got A Man Made Entirely Out Of Mutant Bees–!” We hope you’ve enjoyed all the buzz around the Crawl Space front page today. Thanks very much to Brad, Kevin and CrazyChris for contributing and lending a hand with the carnage. To be completely up front – none of…

Swarm is undoubtedly THE greatest villain. I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking “didn’t he foolishly try to attack the X-Men and get pounded by their sentient plot of land?” If that’s what you’re thinking, then YOU are the fool. As the last panel on the page clearly demonstrates,…

“Taste the Honey! The Sweet, Sweet Honey!” What celebration of Swarm would be complete without a nod to his appearance on Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends? That’s right, Crawl Spacers! Few villains have reached outside the comics to busy-bee themselves around various Marvel media. The fifth episode of Amazing…

In honor of International Swarm today, I’ve decided to share with you a little piece of Crawlspace Podcast History. All those (however many) years ago, when we were talking about the Spider-Man Broadway musical on the show and Swarm’s appearance in it, I first exclaimed, “He’s a Nazi skeleton…

“Get Stung, Son!” While we observe Swarm Day here at the Crawl Space we gather to appreciate not only the skeleton of Nazi entomologist Fritz von Meyer but also the thousand and thousands of bees that cover the bones of the “Aggregate Man” like an evil bee beard. In…

“The Nazi skeleton made of bees…” I am proclaiming that Thursday is Swarm Day here at the Spider-Man Crawlspace. Why? Because I said. Late Wednesday night Brad, Kevin and I spent some time – a lot of it – talking about Swarm. I think I may have made some…

Hello everyone as many of you know, I have been reading and collecting comics for over 30 years. About six years ago during a very difficult time in my life. I was going through my long boxes of comic books when an idea came to me. I quickly started…

Many happy returns to one of the Crawlspace’s longest-running and most Clone Saga apologetic friend Zach Joiner! Zach turns 25 today, and shares the good fortune of being born the same day as Stan Lee! Give Zach good wishes for this, the day of his momentus birth!

Join me in wishing Josh Lapin-Bertone a happy 27th birthday. He’s been an invaluable part of the site for several years. He’s written all the Spider-Jeopardy questions for our podcasts, been a reporter at San Diego for us and even had Stan Lee bless my daughter. Don’t forget his…

Happy birthday to our good friend Stella. She is missed on the podcast, but I was happy to hear her on our 200th episode. She’s been a good friend to the site for a long time. Please join me in wishing her a big happy birthday.
